Stella & Dot Giveaway

I was a cleaning fool today.  I have been a little lazy with my house work lately and I finally couldn’t take it anymore.  It’s amazing how nice a space looks when it’s picked up and clean.  It was a lot of work, but it’s oddly therapeutic for me and gets my creativity flowing. 
Anyway, let’s get to the meat of it.  I love supporting women who are stepping out and starting their own businesses or finding ways to earn money from home while nourishing their creative desires.  I met one coincidentally a few months ago.  I posted a headboard on Craig’s List and she bought it from me.  Heather recently took “the leap” and became a stylist for Stella and Dot. 

Here’s some of Heather’s story…

“I am a stay at home mom to 2 little girls, ages 6 and 3. When my oldest was born, I quit my full time job in engineering to stay at home with her. Now that they are getting a bit older and I am beginning to regain some time I wanted to do something fun, just for me. I had been introduced to Stella and Dot jewelry about 1 year ago in the blog world and really loved the style of jewelry. I am not really a “party” person but a chance meeting with a local Stella and Dot Stylist convinced me that Stella and Dot wasn’t your typical home party company. There are no presentations and no pressure, just friends hanging out having a private jewelry trunk show. I decided that it would be nice to get out of my mommy uniform and wear some pretty jewelry again and maybe make a little money along the way. I’m relatively new with the company but I am more please every day about my decision to join. Stella and Dot is an amazing company full of amazing women I am able to work at home, setting my own hours when it’s convenient for me. I can schedule as many parties as I would like in a month based on my family needs and schedules. The business really works as hard as you work, from a hobby to a full time job. I don’t know where Stella and Dot will lead me but for now, I’m having a great time, getting out with the girls on occasion, learning a lot about customer service and sales and making some income along the way.”

Her new “favorite” earrings from the fall line are the Chantilly Lace Chandelier Earrings.  Ooo…love those. 

 My personal favorite is the Isadora Peal Bib. 

…and Heather sent me one.  Yay!

To get the word out there about her new business venture, Heather is kindly offering up a $50 credit to her Stella and Dot online store to one lucky winner. 
If you’d like to enter, just visit Heather’s Stella and Dot Store, browse around, come back here to this post and leave a comment letting me know what you would buy if you had $50 to spend there.  That’s it!  The giveaway is open through Sunday, September 25, midnight PST and a winner will be randomly chosen and announced on Monday, September 26.   
If you’d like to “hang out” with Heather and get to know her more, you can “like” her Facebook Page.

Good luck to all!

  80. I was just admiring a friend's ring yesterday and she said she got it from Stella and Dot! I had never heard of them before and now I've heard about them twice in 2 days. All of their jewelry is great looking but I would start with stackable deco rings!

  84. OOOH! I just adore Stella and Dot! I'd get the Ever After necklace, I'm getting ready to celebrate my one year wedding anniversary!

    catiejoy (at) gmail (dot) com

  91. I absolutely love Stella & Dot and have thought of becoming a stylists many times. I even met and chatted with CEO Jessica Herrin last year at the PA Governors Women Conference, she was delightful!

    I would use the 50 dollar credit towards either the renegade cluster necklace or the after midnight necklace…or, ha! Who am I kidding I would take anything!

  96. First, congrats to Heather for taking the leap! Way to go girl! I apparently live under a rock, or in northern Nevada, and have never heard of Stella and Dot, but how beautiful! (btw, my pickup's name is Stella!) I love the Claire and collette necklaces as well as the estate chandelier earrings. Gorgeous!

  99. Necklaces were where I went first . . .love the Renegade layering necklace and the Pave Ellipse necklace. But I don't know, I'm also in love with the sun disc earrings. And I have to stop looking or I could go on and on . . .

  100. How FUN!!! I love bracelets and the one that stood out to me is the Paige Enamel Bangle…I just have a thing for turquoise right now!!! Thanks for the great give-away!! 🙂

  104. Great statement pieces! I like the delicate threated turquoise necklace! Also like seeing the support for those getting started with a business and making that leap! Well done! mgouldi@yahoo.com

  115. Oh my! Too many beautiful items to choose from ~ but, if I had to choose it would have to the Isadora Pearl Bib. It is gorgeous!

    Allison B.

  123. I went right to the earrings, my favorites were the chandeliar in silver and the wanderlust fringe earrings!
    My daughter was at a meeting in Pittsburgh and Stella & Dot were there, she was very inpressed with the company!

  128. LOVE that Isadora Pearl Bib as well as the Astor Five Strand…oh my. So gaw-gus. 🙂 Thank you both for the great giveaway…hope I'm picked!

  132. Thanks to Miss Mustard Seed for introducing me to Stella and Dot. So many beautiful things! The Chantilly Lace Cuff bracelet is the one that steals my heart!

  133. There are tons of beautiful pieces to pick from…how to choose?! I am obsessed with the "On the Mark" necklace! For $49, you can't beat how stylish it is! I like it bc it is gold and could easily be layered with other jewelry. This necklace could be worn every day or for special occasions. Very simple – yet "statement" worthy also! 🙂

  160. Goodness, it would be a delightfully hard choice…but I do love the Chantilly Cuff, and all the wrap bracelets. Here's hoping for a little bling to brighten up my fall wardrobe! Thanks Heather, for sharing all aspects of your journey with us–the hard, not-so-productive days along with all the beautiful things you create–it makes taking on a project myself seem doable in the midst of "real" life.

    Thank you!
    Elizabeth

  182. I have some Stella and Dot pieces and love them. I admit when I saw the pearl bib I lusted as I just bought an outfit for my son's wedding that this would be perfect for! Then I looked around and like the Sasha flower brooch and the Rio Chandelier earrings. Beautiful!

  183. MMS, what a fun site "Stella & Dot" I loved looking through the exciting jewelry.
    The one major thing that totally caught my eye, was the CORSO CUFF! LOVE it!! So unique, and although over the $50 giveaway price, I feel I could make up the difference.
    Thanks for always sharing so much with all of us. It's my daily blog…each & every!

  187. I love the whole site actually! But, the pieces that speak to me are the Chloe Necklace and the Delicate Drop Earrings paired with the Soiree Pearl Pave Bracelet in the Brown color. YUM! I have just the perfect thing to wear with all three!

    Thanks for introducing Stella & Dot and Heather too!

  189. Wow! So many pretty things. I, too, love the Chantilly chandelier earrings. I also love the Devi bangles and the Bella Fleur ring. Thanks for such a great giveaway!

  193. HI! MISS MUSTARD SEED,
    WELL . . . AS I WAS SKIMMING THE PAGES OF ALL THE JEWELRY, MY MOUTH DROPPED OPEN WHEN I SAW THE CAMILLA NECKLACE! OH – IT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL!!! LOVE THE COLORS – VERY PRETTY!! THANK YOU FOR THE GIVEAWAY CHANCE! HAVE A GOOD WEEK!
    KAREN

  197. I had never heard of Stella and Dot. I love,love,love the Belle Fleur Ring! September 25 is my "Miracle Day"…the day I wasn't supposed to come off of the operating table. Maybe I will be lucky:)

  203. So hard to choose, but i love the sundrop hoop earrings, and the chantilly lace ones are also lovely!
    Thanks,
    Amber

  204. Heathers site is great and Stella & Dots jewelry is too! I love the Avery Chain and Pearl necklace…Great way to dress up a blouse or suit at work, and elegant enough to wear for a night out.

    Wendy

  205. There are so many items on the list, but I love the Paige Enamel Bangle! Thanks for the great giveaway!! Best of luck to Heather with her business.

  206. I absolutely adore the Colette Necklace, Marrakesh Bib Necklace, River Lariat, Metropolitan Mixed Chain Necklace and Isadora Pearl Bib. needless to say I would spend more than the giveaway. Incredible accessories. Thanks for the awesome giveaway opportunity. good luck everyone!

  209. I am loving the isadora pearl bib too! you're so lucky you were gifted one! 🙂 I'm in a wedding in december and that'd be perrrfect! 🙂

  215. What a great way to make a few extra bucks and bond with some bling-loving sisters! I just adore those Riviera Coin earrings, Marian! Thanks for this sweet giveaway – and blessings for success to Heather! 🙂

    xoxo laurie

  220. I love the Sophia pearl bib necklace – along with about 50 other items!

    What a great giveaway! Thanks for hostessing it.

  222. Dear Miss Mustard Seed,
    First of all, love to you and yours!! You are doing a great job! I have been following your blog for quite a while and I feel like I know you!! I'm sure we would have fun together!!!
    I like the Colette necklace. It is absolutely lovely!!
    Carol

  228. I loved the Riviera Coin Necklace and the Signature Dot Disc Necklace (I think I got the name right?!) Really gorgeous jewelry! Thanks for the chance to win something!

  229. Pretty pretty!
    I absolutely love the Metropolitan Mised Chain Necklace and the Marrakesh Bib Necklace, but at $198 each I don't think I could afford them even with a gift card. I also LOVE the Colette Necklace, and it's price tag, so I have to say I'd go with that!

  232. Hi again – forgive me if this is post number two – my internet server is being a little ornery Today. I'm pretty nutty for the Chantilly Lace Cuff but would be hard pressed to choose it over so many beautiful necklaces. Great contest – thanks for giving us this opportunity. And best of luck to Heather. Debra

    summer.house@sympatico.ca

  239. Oh my! Beautiful jewelry. I'd choose either the Chantilly lace cuff, Costa Azul wrap bracelet, or stackable band rings.

  242. I'm feeling a bracelet these days, so I think that's what I would pick if I won the giveaway! It will take me hours to choose which one, though…
    thanks for another opportunity!

    Laurie

  260. I love the panther style pendant necklace. Since my last name starts with a C ,it could pass as a very artistic initial pendant. Love itL

  264. TURQUOISE SEA DROP EARRINGS!!
    This is exactly like a pair that I lost one of in college! I loved them so much, I wore the one I still had with a silver stud all the time!

  267. If I had $50, I would get the Ever After necklace and then spend another $50 to get the On the Mark necklace. I love these two layered and have been eyeing the combo for quite a while!
    Sandi

  269. If I had $50, I would buy the Ever After necklace and then would spend another $50 to get the On the Mark necklace. I love the layering of these two and have been eyeing the combo for quite some time!
    Sandi

  274. I am all about stacking rings lately and I LOVE the Stackable Deco Rings!! Thanks for the chance (squeaking in her at the last minute)

  275. wow very nice pieces! I absolutely fell in love with the serpent bangle and the panther pendant necklace & also the gorgeousss estate chandelier earrings, but if I had $50 to spend I would get…well I'm between the 'ever after' heart necklace or the 'on the mark' arrow one, I absolutely adorre them I would wear it everyday, it would be so lovely. <3

    louuseeflyy[at]gmail.com

  278. The Charlize teardrop, Deco drop, and the Tudor stud earrings would all have to fight with each other to come home with me. I love earrings so much and there are so many on her site that are just my style!

  284. I love the initial charm, the signature leaf charm, the chantilly lace cuff, and the marchesa studs! There are too many things to choose from, it'd be a tough decision!
